Hi Jeremy,
Your initial post shows you already have  some information on GEORGE VAGG.

Perhaps you have more

If there is something in particular you are hoping to find, do let us know what it is.

Does it concern.... his children? His wife? Parents? His activities?

Sometimes, very general enquiries are tricky to follow up on and we may  be lead to working on things you already know
